If you can't beat em, join em. Its impossible for us to sit back and just expect change to happen. It took time for the twin tendrils of fear and ignorance to entwine themselves into the human psyche. People aren't just going to wake up one day and say"Gee this whole devoting my life to the great invisible sky wizard thing isn't going so well, maybe there is a better way to help the world." by themselves, in much the same way as people aren't born religious, someone had to teach them.
"I maintain we are both atheist, I simply believe in one fewer god than you. When you understand why you dismiss all other gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." Stephen Roberts

quit trying to shove your atheist beliefs down peoples throats asshole. that's why noone likes you.

I didn't shove anything anywhere. I stated my reasons for bringing my views on religion into a conversation. I dint insult anyone or any religion, why are you so bent out of shape? Do you want to talk about why you hate people you don't know for having different beliefs than you?

you said "Gee this whole devoting my life to the great invisible sky wizard thing isn't going so well". That sounds pretty offensive to me and no I love everyone of every race, religion, straights and homos, and even faggots like you. It seems to me that you have something against anyone who has spiritual beliefs. you need to be more tolerant of others friend.

Awww, you got your widdle feewings hurt? So your first instinct is to jump into a conversation that didn't involve you, and start insulting somone for simply expressing a belief different than yours. Doesn't seem very tolerant to me. You keep calling me a faggot, but you don't know me, my wife, or my kids. Keep your hate and bigotry to your self. I try and talk to people about why I don't believe in fairy tales written by cattke sacrificing cavemen, if you don't like my views, stop reading, and move along. If you would like to have an actual conversation, I welcome your response, but if all you're going to do is throw around insults like an10 year old, have a nice life kid.

"If you can't beat them, join them" doesn't really apply to religious, or any other subjective belief, for that matter. Why would you be an Atheist if you don't believe in their views? And for that matter, why should an Atheist become a radical Christian? We can't really beat Islamic extremists. Should we join them? Honestly, think before you post shit.

I believe the comment I was replying to was about how atheists go about explaining their beliefs to other people, and I explained why, as an atheist, I feel it nessicary to defend my point of view. Now go back and read it again, and quit being a douche, douche.

Are you implying that you don't believe in great invisible sky wizards!?!

Preposterous, look I even have a picture of one!
... I know it doesn't look like much but I remind you he is invisible...

I seem to be caught in the Religious shitstorm

I MUST DEFEND MYSELF!

Lol. Nope. The way I figure it you have about a 1 in 28,000 chance of picking the right sky wizard.

fag

Wow, you really have a problem, don't you? Or is that the extent of what you have to add to the conversation?

Y'know, I agree with this man. And I'll post as my profile because I couldn't give less of a shit if you thumbed me down.

We all complain about Christians being proud of their religion, and they get shit for it. Then a group of atheists that think they're so fucking right decide to be an asshole to everyone who has faith in a religion.

This is coming from an atheist, mind you.

i love you

I am a christian and the fact you would stand up for people like me gives me a feel.

Have a thumb and a kitty hug.

I would also like to join the moment... helping to bridge the gap between us all with kittens...

...Everybody believes in kittens

So every faith in the world has a right to voice their beliefs but atheists aren't allowed to voice their non belief?

yea fuck you atheists!
